This simple system allows authorized loved ones or nursing home staff to remotely video call into the bed or living room and have a personal video call with them. The loved one does nothing because Skype Video is set up to auto-answer based on authorized callers. This solution of visually connecting with a remote computer has HUGE applications for checking on buildings, staff, warehouses, and a host of other possibilities.
Requirements:
1. One PC or laptop. You can even use a recycled or thrown away PC. If your loved one would tamper with the system, put it up in the ceiling or on a shelf out of reach.
2. An old Monitor, or better yet a Flat Screen TV hooked up to PC with a VGA cable.
3. A Webcamera. I like the $60 Logitech C905, but any webcamera will work. Note: Almost every webcam has a microphone. Use a USB extension cable if necessary.
4. Wi-Fi or Internet access. Any type of connection will do.
5. Any speaker hooked up to PC for incoming audio.
